It's all about execution

STOP IT! Be responsible for your actions 100% good bad or indifferent own every aspect of your life. Doing so will put you on the fast track in your fitness goals as well as other areas of your life. What boss isn’t going to reward an employee that owns his or her mistakes instead of hiding them hoping no one finds out about it? Or you find a new ways of being more effective because you're always on the lookout for a more productive way to execute business objectives.
In your fitness endeavors taking 100% responsibility means showing up for your workout focused and ready to execute your plan for the day. Knowing what you're going to do before you even touch a weight the exercises sets and repetitions already figured out. It's about staying focused not engaging in chit chat between sets or flirting with the gym hottie. If your able to watch Oprah while your on the tread mill your selling yourself out by not working out at the correct intensity level and are just "going through the motions" . Is it any wonder why you haven’t reached your goals yet? And you blame everything from your slow metabolism to the guy that hogs the squat rack. The same goes for your diet plan as well. Any diet will be effective if it's executed correctly. This is another area where planning will be a big help. Plan every meal and pack it with you. Cook all your meals Sunday night then pack and freeze all your meals for the week then all you have to do is grab and go. You don’t even have to think about it. Schedule your cheat meals use them for what they are a reward for sticking to the nutrition plan you have created for yourself. Is everything going to go perfectly every day? No it wont the unexpected client lunch stuck working late. Life happens and it's a good thing that it does sometimes it can lead to great discoveries about ourselves and how we relate to the world Accept that you had to deviate from your plan and pick it up at the next meal or workout and move on. But if you execute your plans 90% of the time how much closer will you be to your goals.
Live on Purpose!
